Probable 4-Repeat Tauopathy Criteria Predict Brain Amyloid Negativity, Distinct Clinical Features, and FDG-PET/MRI Neurodegeneneration Patterns in Corticobasal Syndrome.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCorticobasal syndrome (CBS) is associated with diverse underlying pathologies, including the four-repeat (4R)-tauopathies. The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) proposed the novel category "probable 4R-tauopathy" to address the phenotypic overlap between PSP and corticobasal degeneration (CBD).
objectivesTo investigate the clinical ability of the MDS-PSP criteria for probable 4R-tauopathy in predicting a negative amyloid-PET in CBS. Additionally, this study aims to explore CBS patients classified as 4R-tauopathy concerning their clinical features and neuroimaging degeneration patterns.
methodsThirty-two patients with probable CBS were prospectively evaluated and split into those who fulfilled or did not fulfill the 4R-tauopathy criteria (CBS-4RT+ vs. CBS-4RT-). All patients underwent positron emission tomographies (PET) with [
resultsEleven patients were clinically classified as CBS-4RT+, and only one had a positive PIB-PET. The CBS-4RT+ classification had 92% specificity, 52% sensitivity, and 69% accuracy in predicting a negative PIB-PET. The CBS-4RT+ group presented with dysarthria and perseveration more often than the CBS-4RT- group. Moreover, the CBS-4RT+ group showed a prominent frontal hypometabolism extending to the supplementary motor area and striatum, and brain atrophy at the anterior cingulate and bilateral striata.
conclusionsThe 4R-tauopathy criteria were highly specific in predicting a negative amyloid-PET in CBS. Patients classified as 4R-tauopathy presented distinct clinical aspects, as well as brain metabolism and atrophy patterns previously associated with tauopathies.
